hill takes in the village Of Hull and its sur
rounding neighborhood, the beach road, it,
villas and villages, the ocean, bay and North
shore from Boston to Marblehead.
The great beauty Of this place II the wide
seas, the wide, wide views, and the circulat
ing salt-sea air, which meets with no obsta
cles save the hills, and the pilotboats which
60 out and come in from the station below
us. It is q perpetual delight to find the sea
in front of us, to know that street with gas
mains and an elevated road, and groceries
and forlorn-looking people cannot take its
place. 1t is never-ending pleasure to sit or
and look out upon the blue water, hear
the swish of the waves, see the gay yachts
sail up and down, and the great ocean steam
ers as they go out or come in. The walk
upon the beach is quite fashionable prom
enade, and the carriage road from Hull to
Nantucket and the Jerusalem" road pass
the pretty recessed corner in which Seaside
Cottage is located. It is therefore, lord of
itself and of much of the surrounding neigh
borhood, without seeming in the least lonely
or isolated, and may fairly claim kinship
with two hemispheres, for there is nothing
but the. long stretch Of ocean between US and
the soil Of Great Britain.
The evenings are no less delightful than
the mornings, for there is still the sea more
deeply, darkly, beautifully blue, and all the
horizon toward the water line studded with
lights as the sky with stars. There is the
Long island light and the red "bug'' light.
the Boston revolving light, the twin lights
and "Minot's" light the last marking the
pilot-line for "inside'' and outside cruis
ers. It looks to be about . mile, but it is
really twenty-five miles to the Middle
Brewster" where the lighthouse stands.
from which the brilliant revolving lgh'
flashes out its rays. Beyond it on one side is
an island known as Big Brewster; below it
another called Little Brewster, while the
other, as before remarked, is known as Mid
die Brewster. Evidently the individual who
gave these names had read the nursery story
of the three bears-the great bear, the mid
dle-sized bear and the little bear-and remcnl-
bered it.
The sunsets here are gorgeous, and have
all the characteristics of color and occasional
mirage effects of sunsets at sea. The lovely
opaline tints of the sky, its gold and fire, are
all reproduced in the water, and are brought
in waves to your feet as if the treasures of the
world were being poured out at them. While
the west is bathed in this refulgent mass of
color the green hills at the east and south are
darkened, their outlines growing more dis
tinct in the half light and the red-tiled COT
tages in the distance cleaning out upon the
eastern summit like jewels upon the brow of
the coming night.
Theweather here is as treacherous as the
